Booey's New Lifestyle Changes, Journal

Thanks Karen, I am in a pretty good place today. Much better than yesterday, even with WI tonight I won't let it get me down. right back to you. By the way I am almost done my water for today, how about you????

Terri

Haven't begun. I know, I need to start. Trying to get caught up here at work and completely forgot.

Glad you are in a great place today.

Good evening and yes it is a good one. I just got back from WI and am down another pound. So I am down a total of 16.2 pounds now. Yipee for me.

Awesome Terri. Especially since you were just hoping to maintain!!!! YAY!!!

Thanks Karen, I am up early today so I have a fresh start. Have had my breakfast and coffe and just about ready to get the boys up to start their day. I was going to do my new bally ball work out but DH didn't get up at 6am like he normally does so I didn't have enough time. Oh well will do it tonight. I am so pumped this week, it is amazing what losing a Gotta run and get myself and the boys together and make some lunches. Will check back in once I am at work.

Remember to be good to yourself, hug yourself and drink your water.

Terri

Glad you got a great start this morning. That ALWAYS helps. I got one of those yesterday but then AF showed up and today I'm grumpy.

Congrats again on your loss!!! Please send some of that losing streak my way will ya? I could use it.

BTW, got my water as soon as I walked into work this morning.

Thanks again. Not sure if you can call it a streak but I will send loosing vibes to you ready

~~~~~~~~~~LOSING POUNDS AND INCHES~~~~~~~~~~~

Great job on grabing that water first thing. Sorry you are grumpy - remember exercise/activity will help to lessen AF effects on you. She is not here fullforce yet but has made her presence known. Have a great day.

I think I was secretly thinking about gambling. Guess that's why I used the phrase "loosing streak". Sorry about that.

I know you've worked very hard to lose the pounds you have and that's not a streak, that's pure effort and self-control. You are doing great.

Thanks for the vibes. Hopefully they'll work on me before tomorrow.

Exercise does help during AF, but the first few days for me (heavy heavy flow) just make me feel yucky, ya know? Actually it makes me feel to yucky to workout. Sweat and AF, blah blah just doesn't work well for me. ICK! Oh well, truck right on through it. I am going out of town this weekend so I NEED to workout tonight.

No need to appologize for the streak, what I meant by my post was that I maintained over the previous 2 weeks and lost this week. Usually for me a streak is at least 2 weeks in a row of losses. (this is why I am not too fond of the written word on boards because they can be interpretted(can't spell) differently then what you mean). Hang in there you can do it - AF and all.

Thanks again.

Terri

Oh no hun, I knew you didn't mean anything by that. I just thought it was funny because I didn't even realize I used the word and then once I did I realized I really WAS thinking about gambling. We are going out of town to visit friends this weekend and I was dreaming about getting a sitter for all our kids and hitting the boat and winning LOTS of moola. Not going to happen though.

Gotcha,

Good morning, another early start to my day. Had my breakfast and am getting ready to sew Matthew's winter coat so he can wear it today. Gonna be cold one. Got my work out in last night did 2.1 miles in under 30 minutes so I kept going to the 30 minute mark. Felt good. Had some bread so used points for it but I earned em. Got all my water in as per ww but I should have had more, will get more in today. Gotta run.

Will check in throughout the day, I may be MIA for a while though getting a new colour laser printer so I have to install a couple network printers at work. May take up a chunk of my time. Have a great day and remember to hug yourself you are worth it and drink your water.

Terri

Wow, you are doing great Terri. Keep up the good work through the weekend. You can do it.

I'll post my fun time last night in my journal.

Wow, I lost another Saturday. Guess this is going to happen more and more as hockey season picks up. Matthew had his first game yesterday and they tied. It was pretty exciting, they were ahead til almost the last minutes of the game and the other team tied it up. Oh well. He is off now at 7:55am on a Sunday morning to practice. DH took him, I am not sitting in a cold arena with Thomas in tow, maybe as the season progresses Thomas may want to go but I have a hard enough time getting him to sit for a game for a whole hour let alone a practice.

Had a good day food wise, skipped breakfast -not so good butI didn't eat any bad food just had a late salad before our dinner last night. Today is another day, got all my water in and even my workout, didn't want to do it but I did. 3 down 2 to go. Will have another one later after DH's company leaves, his dads cousins are visiting from out of town later today and we bought all kinds of goodies, pizza rolls and a party mix from m&m meats of hot hors'd. Okay gotta run and have some breakfast. Will get back on my gazelle later, I am averaging 2 -2.25 miles in 30 minutes. I will up the time hopefully next week once I am fully back in the swing of things and AF has left the building.

Have a great Sunday, I will check throughout the day as time permits.

Remember to be good to yourself and drink all your water.

Terri

Good morning.

I didn't get back here yesterday. I didn't do my workout last night nor did we have all the goodies that we had planned on yesterday as the company didn't want to impose on us so they are all in the freezer til Thomas's Birthday at the end of November. I took last night off of the gazelle, the number of times I had to get up and leave the company to help Thomas I swear I got my activity in but I will not count it. I will get on it tonight after Thomas's swimming.

I have a great lunch packed and supper will be leftover roastbeef so I will OP all day. Had a nice relaxing weekend until we realized that we will be spending our lives in arenas all weekend long and more so when Thomas wants to play hockey next year. Oh well, the sacrifices we make.

Gotta run and get some work done here. Will check back in throughout the day.
Drink your water and hug yourself, you are worth it and you deserve to be healthy and happy.

Terri

Sounds like you had a busy weekend AND that you staying OP. Great job.

It was quite busy and looks like we will be busy from here on out til after March and hockey is over. Now Matthew wants to start his piano lessons back up and both boys swim during the week. Who ever said it got easier as they get older must have been confused, it is getting easier behaviour wise but busier activity wise.

Have a great day - how was your weekend?

Terri

Good morning, even with the bad rainy weather out there I am pretty optimistic today. Had a mini-binge last night of the mini-chocolate bar kind. I put them up high so I wouldn't see em and wouldn't ya know Matthew decided he wanted some, took them down and never put them back. Well after quite a few, I put them back up high. I will tell him tonight that if he wants them he has to put them back where he got them and to not leave them on the counter. Major RED LIGHT food for me. Anyway, I journalled it all and am moving on. No gazelle last night not in the mood, will do it tonight and burn off some of the bars. Got all my water in and then some, working on todays water right now. Have a great lunch packed so will be OP here at work. Gonna run and get some work done, will be back later.

Terri

Just forget yesterday and keep on trucking through today. All the holidays will be a test for us so we just have to do our best and keep moving forward. You can do it.

Good evening, sorry I didn't get her sooner, work was crazy, I didn't have time to do much posting today. Got back from my meeting a little while ago, I am down another .6 pounds so that makes a total of 16.8. Gonna lose all this extra weight even if it takes forever, I will not give up.

Terri

YAY!!! Congratulations Terri. I was thinking about you while I was doing TaeBo tonight. I had hoped your WI went well and it sounds like it did!

Good morning, got another early start today. I find that if I don't prep the coffee the night before I get up earlier than normal to do it. I know I should just make DH do it, he is the one normally up at this ridiculous hour. Oh well, it lets me get my breakfast in and not rush making lunches and getting ready. I also get the chance to come here. I had a not so bad day yesterday, had WI so I had pizza last night but surprised myself and only ate half wht I would have and felt overfull at that so the program is working. Today I will have a good day food wise, gonna pack my lunch in a few minutes and supper may be fish not sure yet. Gonna get on my gazelle while Matthew is out at swimming, I hope. I will definitely get it done tonight not matter what. Okay, that is all for now, will stop in later when I get to work and have some time.

Have a great day, hug yourself and drink your water.

Terri

PS I also got in some extra AP's last night so my week ended on a good note.

Good morning. Was up early again, made oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast and it was yummy. Nice way to start a Friday morning. Why can't it be 5 o'clock already, I wanna go home. Oh well, gotta work sometime. The phone hasn't stopped ringing, I guess if you are the boss that is a good thing but if you are me, who wants to relax as it is Friday, it isn't. I had a pretty good night, OP food wise, just couldn't drag my butt to get my activity in. Will make more of an effort tonight. I did have a small NSV, I really wanted to binge on Ketchup Chips and everything else in the house, but instead I made myself a nice salad and had soup to ward off the binge and it worked. I was satisfied after that and didn't want the chips. No extra AP's last night, I wasn't up to it but DH was. Maybe tonight.

This weekend should be a quiet one, we have no real plans other than Matthew's hockey game at 8AM, yes 8AM tommorow morning. I may send DH and Matthew out after the game to buy themselves some clothes. Matthew needs sweat/track pants, he has none right now that fit, he is growing way to fast and DH needs more work pants. Sunday should be quiet too. Okay, gonna run and get some work done, will check back in later. I have to get in more activity this week if I wanna lose more than .6 of a pound next week at WI.

Have a great day and remember to do something special for yourself today because you are so worth it and deserve it.

Terri

PS How's that water coming along?

So glad you have had a couple of great days here Terri. Great job on avoiding the ketchup chips last night.

Have a great, relaxing weekend and get that exercise in!

Thanks Karen, I plan on relaxing, now if I can just get DH on the same page all will be well here in Toronto.

Enjoy yourself too.

Terri
